GitHub is not acceptable for new projects since June 4, 2018.
It’s already hard to find an actually fully working Linux phone that is even close to being a daily driver.


I wonder how they actually implement it, given that the corporation runs an advertising network.
You can also replace individual components. It’s basically a bunch of binaries using an API.
AI data centers need RAM. HDDs are used for “the cloud”. 1 terabyte per user need to be stored somewhere.
The main problem is that people don’t understand that it is NOT “just an init system”


If you want to open Edge without actually wanting to open it, just accidentally click on one of the advertisements in the main menu or any info area widget. Those ignore the default browser and always open Edge.


Heavy tweaking of Firefox UI (fortunately userChrome.css and user.js are still available, even if hidden in undocumented about:config options), heavy tweaking of labwc, using a custom labwc theme, tweaked GTK theme.

Window resized to get it all in one readable screenshot.


UI redesigns are a marketing feature for paid products because you need to give people a reason to update. (See Microsoft Windows looking different with every new major version).
Mozilla sees Firefox as a paid product (even if it isn’t) and their marketing team decides for a redesign every few actual major releases (not the bogus major releases to get the release number higher fast).


Zen browser with its constant animations and UI elements shifting around and fading in and out, and all the blurry surfaces is everything, but not Zen.


Damn, that looks absurdly ugly and even more like a foreign object on the desktop.
I hope this usability nightmare can be completely disabled or toned down so the browser looks like a native program compared to the rest of my programs.


Ever heard of parents? It’s not the job of the OS or the browserto monitor and control a kids internet access.
In most jurisdictions you need to be an adult to legally get an Internet access.
So people using the Internet are either adults or under the supervision of adults.


The browsers sooner or later will always respond “18+” and do not ask the OS.


Well—that is certainly a meticulous observation 👍


Thank you! 2FAuth looks very promising. Especially with the Android app! I need to check out the repo and history when I’m back home, though. It seems to be a one-man show.


We should make it more clear, that it is not “Mastodon is the thing” but “ActivityPub is the thing, and Mastodon is just one of many implementations”


Aegis seems to be just an app. The thing is, that I see an app as second option for accessing the data. I’d like to have a selfhosted service that is accessible independent from a device and – for convenience – has an app, too.
It’s the normal driver in the state it was when Nvidia dropped support. @Ooops@feddit.org described it very well.
I don’t know the situation with Ubuntu, but on Arch Linux older Nvidia drivers are available as legacy driver DKMS modules working with the current kernel and tools.
So basically: Yes, this will work on a technical level.
My 1080 is supported by one of the legacy driver packages and is roughly 10 years old now.
I am pretty sure something similar exists for Ubuntu.
A few years ago I’d say Vim but nowadays it’s Neovim for me.
